The Dark Tower is the 2017 upcoming fantasy feature film adaptation of the series of novels written by Stephen King. The film was directed by Nikolaj Arcel and stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, aka "The Gunslinger" and Matthew McConaughey as Walter Padick.

The following weapons were used in the film The Dark Tower:

Custom Remington 1858 New Army

Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) appears to use two customized Remington 1858 New Armys.

Remington 1858 New Army Percussion - .44 Caliber.

The Gunslinger (Idris Elba) with his custom Remington 1858.

The Gunslinger's custom gun belt, with both individual cartridges and 6-round "moon clips."

The two-stage firing is seen. The trigger is pulled and sparks fly from the cylinder...

...and then the muzzle flashes.

The Gunslinger does an impressive speed-load, tossing cartridges into his revolver. The custom swing-out cylinder is seen here on the right-hand gun (the left hand gun's cylinder swings out on the opposite side).

While this shot is blurry, the left-hand gun's cylinder clearly swings out the right side of the gun so it swings inward in relation to the Gunslinger's hand.

The Gunslinger practices his grip with Jake (Tom Taylor). Note that while both guns are seen with swing-out cylinders, no cylinder release latches are seen.

The Gunslinger fires his Remington.

The Gunslinger aims his Remington, which starts to glow and show the custom engraving.

The best shot of the Remington in the trailer, showing what appear to be .36 or .38 caliber chambers (one of which appears to be loaded).
